Exclamation ???????????????

hi people i have another strange one for you! I was goin up the a1 last nite and when i hit 1bar of boost in any gear it sort of misfires/fuel cuts but the boost will still climb to 1.5-1.8 bar depending on which gear im in but it wont let you use it if you no what i mean!i dunno if its juat ate a plug,coil pack is on its way or the worst case scenario the fuel pump is packing up!i have been assured that the fuel pump is pretty indestructable on it so any ideas?its a focus rs mk1 btw lol!cheers guys

is it chipped?
if not it'll be a timing retard/spark cut to stop you blowing your engine up lol!
have you altered the actuator or fitted a bleed valve recently?

i'd check for pipes coming off things, e.g. map sensor, although that should give a rough idle if faulty.
check plugs and coil pack for signs of wear then.

could just be the gap too big on the plugs and boost is 'blowing' the spark out.
